With the extra long tapes, any cassette player is more likely to “eat” the tape. 1) Press the STOP / EJECT Button to open the lid. 2) Insert the cassette as shown (above). 3) Once the tape is inserted correctly, close the cassette door gently.

• C. Crane VersaCorder Dual Speed Recorder, Page 18 VersaCorder Troubleshooting Guide The VersaCorder is eating my tapes: If the VersaCorder starts “eating” your tapes, please remember we rec- ommend tapes no longer than 110 minutes for reliable service. Longer tapes are more likely to wind around the tape mechanism and create a problem. If a 110 minute tape continues to wind around the mechanism then try a new tape or rewind and fast forward the tape before trying again. If the recorder continues to jam up, even on new tapes, your unit may need servicing or replacing. Maintenance: It is a good idea to keep your VersaCorder and tapes as clean as possi- ble. Tape recorders under daily heavy use, often la

• C. Crane VersaCorder Dual Speed Recorder, About C.Crane Company Inc. The C. Crane Company began soon after Bob and Sue Crane moved from the San Francisco Bay Area to the beautiful and remote Redwood Country of Northern California. As they settled into Fortuna, in the heart of the Redwoods, and tried to tune in their favorite AM stations, Bob and Sue were shocked. They either heard a lot of static or nothing at all. Trying to find a solution, they soon discovered there were few prod- ucts available to enhance poor AM radio. Bob, being an all-around clever guy, found his own solution to weak AM reception: the Select-A-Tenna! The Cranes were so impressed with this simple antenna that they knew
